In #Japan wütet der größte #Waldbrand seit drei Jahrzehnten. Tausende Menschen mussten ihre Häuser verlassen, während #Feuerwehr und #Militär gegen die Flammen kämpfen.
Das Feuer hat bereits über 1.800 Hektar erfasst, mehr als 80 Gebäude beschädigt und ein Todesopfer gefordert. Besonders betroffen ist die Region um #Ofunato. Starke Winde und trockene Luft erschweren die #Löscharbeiten.
